What is the function of the release factor during translation in eukaryotes?
A
It catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids.
B
It recognizes the stop codon and promotes the release of the polypeptide chain.
C
It initiates the assembly of the ribosomal subunits.
D
It facilitates the binding of tRNA to the ribosome.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation in eukaryotes, which involves the synthesis of proteins from mRNA templates.
Recognize that translation occurs in three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
Identify the role of the release factor during the termination stage of translation.
Learn that the release factor is a protein that recognizes stop codons on the mRNA sequence.
Understand that upon recognizing the stop codon, the release factor promotes the release of the newly synthesized polypeptide chain from the ribosome, effectively ending the translation process.
